I agree. The death has to be A) unnatural and B) big enough that it has resort staff and guests talking about it at another resort on the island. Which is why it’s my assumption that it’s Armand (because resort staff probably know staff or even previously worked at The White Lotus, and I could definitely see them…

No, they’re boarding a flight to Honolulu. Shane is from Chicago, but he’s supposed to have one more week of honeymoon, in Tahiti. (Here’s hoping Rachel has left his ass, though.)

Honestly, ghost writing for someone like Patterson is my dream job. I wouldn’t have to come up with my own story and I wouldn’t have to tie my ego to the book. Plus, I wouldn’t have to do any self-promotion.

Lindsey doesn’t deserve to be associated with any place where talented people work hard to bring joy to others.

John Cena was really surprising in this movie.  He had excellent comedic timing.

True; it could very well be Olivia making this up.  But as far as Nicole knows, Paula is allergic to fruit (Paula herself backed that one up), has 13 different necessary medications to function and is forever having to leave situations because of medical concerns.  (Again, I don’t think that’s actually the case, but…

Chekov’s EpiPen.

Since the dead body is still in question . . .

The super rich ARE very cheap, typically, so that part rings true to me.

I kind of love how over it Nicole is about Paula.  And I don’t even think it’s about Paula’s attitude but just how, like, preciously she has to be handled.  Paula is that friend of your kid’s who has an allergy to everything in the world and they can’t eat anything at your house but their parents send them over for a…

I still don’t get why Kai didn’t just exit the bedroom door onto the patio, where Nicole would never have seen him and where he could just hop over the patio gate and then walk to the beach.  The Mossbachers’ suite is on the first floor, I’m 90% sure.  The windows looking out are a sliding door.

I also laughed.  It’s been four days and I think he’s moved about three pages.  Meanwhile Olivia and Paula are apparently reading feminist tomes once a day.

I assumed the cough was so that he didn’t have to spend the night, but then I’m a cynic.

That’s kind of what I think. We know they’ve been together less than a year, and considering Shane seems like a narcissist, I imagine he love-bombed her for the first few months. She wasn’t thinking she was marrying rich, she was thinking she was marrying someone who loved her. It’s only now that Shane “has her” (in a…

I am not sure I agree that Nicole’s line about still being in pain quite reaches the level of histrionic (a word historically used to diminish women’s real life concerns). She is in pain, and she’s ashamed, and she’s upset that Mark told their son something *about her* that she didn’t want the kids to know. Sure, it…

Or Saudi’s state-owned oil company, which gleefully gets away with all kinds of shit.  (Although I am bitter; I have worked on many a job with Saudi Aramco, but I wasn’t allowed to present in meetings with them or look any clients in the eyes.)

There is no way Bantr has enough capital to sponsor even a Championship-level team.  Keeley must be a marketing genius.

I find myself wondering what the doll’s parents did to get cancelled, and how the doll’s tie-in book handles it.

But very talky and energetic, which could get old fast unless he’s putting his mouth to other use.

This is true; Arlo White would never lower himself to saying tie.
